The Best Face Oils for All Skin Types: Hydrate and Nourish Naturally
Face oils have become essentials in natural skincare, celebrated for their ability to hydrate, nourish, and bring balance to any skin type. Unlike many heavy creams, face oils penetrate deeply to deliver nutrients and create a glowing, soft complexion. If you’re new to face oils, creating a routine can seem a bit overwhelming. Here are a few you can try... Routine 1: Soothe and Hydrate for Sensitive Skin This calming routine is perfect if you experience redness, irritation, or sensitivity. The products in this routine are designed to nurture and bring harmony to sensitive skin. Calm Clean Cleansing BalmBegin with the Calm Clean Cleansing Balm, a gentle yet effective cleanser.

It’s packed with ingredients like brightening pumpkin enzymes and hydrating aloe vera, which help cool and soothe your skin, setting the stage for a glowing finish. Plump Up Hydration SerumLock in all that hydration with Plump Up Hydration Serum.

Routine 3: Restore and Nourish for Nighttime Renewal Ideal for nighttime, this routine centers on repairing and nourishing the skin while you sleep. It’s suitable for dry or mature skin types, focusing on deep hydration and support for skin regeneration.Calm Clean Cleansing BalmOnce again, we start with the Calm Clean Cleansing Balm. At night, this balm provides the perfect base, as it dissolves any makeup, pollutants, or impurities from the day without drying the skin.

Menopause Awareness Month: Nurturing Your Skin and Mood with Skin & Tonic
October is Menopause Awareness Month, a time to acknowledge and support the millions of women experiencing the natural transition of menopause. Along with its hormonal changes, menopause often brings a range of physical and emotional challenges - particularly in skin health and mood stability. This phase of life can be overwhelming, but with the right care and products, you can regain balance and feel confident. Common Menopause-Related Skin and Mood Challenges During menopause, your body undergoes several shifts, many of which directly impact your skin and emotions. Common skin-related concerns include: Dryness and Dehydration: Lower estrogen levels lead to a reduction in collagen and skin hydration, causing dryness, flakiness, and even irritation.Loss of Elasticity: Skin may become thinner, making it prone to sagging and fine lines.Increased Sensitivity: Menopausal skin often reacts more intensely to environmental stressors, leading to redness or breakouts. Alongside these skin concerns, mood swings, anxiety, and stress can also intensify during this period, making self-care even more important. Skin & Tonic: A Solution for Menopausal Skin and Mood Thankfully, Skin & Tonic offers a range of products designed to nourish your skin while promoting emotional well-being. Let’s explore how their thoughtfully crafted, organic products can support your journey through menopause. 1. Calm BalmThis versatile balm is your go-to for easing both skin and stress.

Happy BalmMood swings are a common symptom of menopause, and Happy Balm is designed to help uplift your spirits naturally. Infused with rosemary, bergamot, and spearmint herb oil, this balm not only moisturises but also invigorates your mood with its refreshing, citrusy scent. Apply it to your temples, wrists, or neck whenever you need a pick-me-up. 3. Plump Up Hydration SerumHydration is essential for combating the dryness that menopause often brings. The Plump Up Hydration Serum is formulated with Rose Centifolia (Rose) Floral Water, Pentylene GlycolInulin, Sodium Hyaluronate Glycogen, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Citric Acid, and Arginine, helping to deeply hydrate and plump the skin. With continued use, your skin will feel more supple, smooth, and resilient against the signs of aging. 4.

Why Less is More in Skincare...
Skincare has become increasingly complex, with multi-step routines, layering trends, and product overload often positioned as essential to achieving healthy skin. But when it comes to preparing your skin for makeup, this approach can do more harm than good. Heavy layers of serums, moisturisers, and occlusives - particularly in the morning - can interfere with how your makeup performs, leading to pilling, excess shine, and decreased wear time. What begins as an attempt to boost hydration and glow can end up undermining the final result. Instead, a more streamlined, minimalist approach to skincare can support both skin health and makeup longevity, allowing your products to work more effectively and your skin to breathe. Minimalist Skincare = Better Makeup Results Simplifying your routine helps your skin - and your makeup - perform at their best. Here's why: Fewer layers = better product absorptionLightweight textures reduce pilling and shineSaves time, money, and product wasteMinimised risk of irritation The result? Skin that feels comfortable, looks radiant, and stays makeup-ready all day. The key to healthy, radiant skin isn’t how many products you use, but how well they work together. At Skin & Tonic, we believe in the power of minimalist skincare. Each product is crafted with multitasking, plant-based ingredients that support your skin’s natural function - without the need for 10+ steps.

Little Rituals, With a Big Impact
Hello, my darlings! Just a quick note to wish you all a very Happy Easter from me and the Skin & Tonic team… Easter Sunday is the perfect excuse to pause, reset, and reconnect with yourself and the ones you love. At Skin & Tonic, we’re big believers in the power of those little rituals. Whether it’s lighting your favourite candle, having a green tea whilst nibbling a chocolate egg, or giving your skin an extra dose of TLC with one of our products, these small moments of self-care can help you feel grounded, nourished, and ready for the week ahead. Here’s how we like to reset at Skin & Tonic: Switching up our skincare – Lighter layers, hydrating mists, and gentle exfoliation to slough off winter and let the skin breathe. We all know that hydration works best when your skin is exfoliated and clean. So use our Fresh Face Exfoliating Water before you grab that serum or oil. Embracing fresh scents – Our Calm Hand & Body Wash is perfect for that energising morning shower. It’s like a mini spring clean for your body and mind. If you tend to sweat a lot or worry about odour, you can try double washing to deal with persistent body odour, sweat build-up, or skin imbalances. The Calm wash is infused with lavender, which will linger on your skin long after your shower! Slowing down – Easter doesn’t have to be busy. Sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing at all. Read a book. Take a nap. Soak in the bath with our De-Stress Face Mask on. You’ve earned it. Going green – Whether that’s getting outside or making more sustainable swaps (hello!), Easter is a beautiful time to align your habits with your values. So this Easter, whether you’re skipping the sugar crash or not - opt for slow, soul-nourishing self-care too. Whether you are hunting eggs with the kids or hiding from the chaos—we hope you find a moment just for you. *To celebrate the long weekend, we’re giving you a free mini bottle with every purchase - a small Easter treat, just for you. Let this be a reminder to take a moment for yourself. But don’t wait too long - this little treat ends at midnight on Monday. Happy Easter from all of us at Skin & Tonic. Jodes.xx
